Wirksworth Wizarding Day

Travel and Parking

Travelling to Wirksworth is pretty easy, but we have limited parking in the centre of the town. We recommend you come by bus or train (Ecclesbourne Valley Railway).

If it’s a non-magical day, then parking your muggle carriage should be pretty easy in town so you can walk around and enjoy the friendliest town in Derbyshire.
